I got totally nailed on here for saying Darren "clueless" Kelly would be out of a job by the 1st Sept. You were all so optimistic about preseason even though we only beat part time opposition.
Kelly simply retained too many players from last years staff with a reduced budget from last year. He also has very few contacts in the game. This makes recruitment almost impossible.
before LJ joined the club he told SC to sign Korey Smith an outstanding championship midfielder, Darren Kelly doesn't have contacts to allow him to attact players.
It was clear he was out of his depth, did know one notice the lack of Twitter activity with regards to preseason from the players? Does a manager like kelly have the respect of the players? no as no one has ever heard of him.
Sc was in a no win position, sack him before a ball is kicked or give him 6 games. Either way it doesn't look good but at least he gave him a chance. I haven't been the biggest SC fan but credit to him on this. He made a mistake and he fixed it quickly
Dean Holdem was in an impossible position.
David Dunn will be a fantastic option, with his contacts, his personality (met him a few times this season) his experience, we have all seen how good he is, he has instant respect from the players.
